I got a tracking # from BFL a few weeks ago but have not received anything yet. I will call them tomorrow and post back here when I have info.
^ I want that tracking number.
I called BFL asking for both tracking numbers from these shipments this morning, I expect they'll get back to me Monday with them.
You said you received that tracking number well over a month ago. How is it that you no longer have it?
I can go into my email right now and find the tracking numbers for my shipments from BFL. They sent me a "Your order has been shipped!" email each time with the tracking number in it.
Today, after much persistence with BFL, they have still refused to give a refund and sent me the chips regardless. I have them in my posession as of this evening
^ The tracking number from that shipment. It should be printed on the shipping label that was affixed to the box of chips you received.
I never got a tracking number for this shipment, they just showed up without notice and I did not record it from the box. (Do you usually record tracking numbers of received items? I don't, and I apologize if that's something you expected.)
I would have kept the box myself, knowing how things were in dispute like this.
I have been out of the country and the chips have been sent and the tracking numbers have been emailed to the email address you used to place the orders!
^ And that one.
9407 4036 9930 0005 5877 80
That just shows that a label was generated. The service type, date, and features do match what I would expect.
I still don't understand how an overweight/underpayment situation could have happened given that Priority Mail costs appear to go up in 8 oz increments, and the shipment was 4.02 oz, with the label being electronically generated and paid.
I also want a screenshot of the BFL order page showing the chip order, the shipment date if shown, and any notes, tracking information, or other details shown.
^ And also that screenshot.
I cannot get to the "order details" page, BFL's site just redirects me to the list of orders when I try to click on the link for the details for any one of them. BFL will be able to confirm this because it is their website after all.
Indeed, the BFL website is also broken for me in this way at the moment.
Please keep in mind, I have done my job as per it's description and have resent you the chips in a timely manner after I received them. BFL is aware that you are the recipient of the order and you can do your best to get a refund from them. I actually lost money when selling you those chips, for ~$45 each was it at the current exchange rate at the time?
I will be here to help you figure this situation out, but do not feel that I am obliged to aid you in seeking compensation from BFL's late delivery, so please stop treating the situation as if that is so.
I don't feel like you did your job well. You let the situation sit for "a few weeks" and did nothing to fix it, you say because you were afraid of Josh. You also did not inform us participants of this until after the fact.
As for selling the chips at a loss, I can go to
http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/ and look up the exchange rate at the time of the BTC-denominated purchase of 55 chips, which was on 04-September-2013 20:58. The mtgox price looks to be around $135, and the btc-e price about $118. Having paid 27 BTC for 55 chips, that would be $66.27 or $57.92 per chip.
I don't think we're going to be able to agree on a settlement on our own. I propose again that we ask John K. if he will judge the matter for us for a fee, and agree to abide by his decision if he agrees to perform the service.
